More designer fun

iPhone Killer? Meet the zunePhone

It is obvious that Microsoft will no longer be creatively complacent, content to let Apple one-up them on innovation and ease of use.

You have to give them credit with this zunePhone.

To my marketing/design colleagues

If you have ever cringed when a client asks you to clutter white space,
oversize a logo, or use excessive starbursts...you MUST watch this.

It will likely be the funniest 5 minutes of your week.

Support the people of Burma

The people of Myanmar/Burma have suffered long enough under  a military regime. If you have a couple minutes to sign a petition, check out the link below.

Dear friends,
 The worst is happening - over the last few days,
Burma 's generals have unleashed terror on the peaceful monks and
 protesters shooting and beating many to death, and taking others away 
 to torture chambers where at this moment they must be enduring the
  unbearable.
We can stop this horror. Burma's powerful 
  sponsor China can halt the killing, if it believes that its
 international reputation and the  2008 Olympics
in Beijing depend on
 it. To convince the Chinese government, Avaaz is launching a major global  
 and Asian ad campaign on Tuesday that will deliver our message and the
   number of signers. Our petition has exploded to over 200,000 signers
 in just 72 hours, but we
need 1 million voices to be the global roar
 that will get China's attention. If every one of us forwards 
 this email to just 20 friends, we'll reach our target in the next 72
   hours. Please sign the petition at the link below -if you
 haven't already- and forward this email to everyone you care 
 about:
   http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/q.php?cl=21180845">  http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/q.php
The petition will also be delivered to the UN 
 Secretary-General, and we will broadcast the news of our effort over radio to Burma's
 people, telling them not to lose hope, that the world is with
  them. The Burmese people are showing incredible courage in the
 face of horror. The fate of many brave and good people is in our hands, 
 we must help them – and we have hours, not days, to do
  it. Please sign the petition and forward this email to at least 20
  friends right now.
 With hope and determination,
Ricken, Paul, Pascal, Graziela, Galit, Ben, Milena and the
  whole Avaaz Team 
PS – if you would like to join in the massive wave of 
 demonstrations happening around the world at Burmese and Chinese embassies,
  scroll down our petition page for details of times and events.
